HC Deb 07 February 1968 vol 758 cc137-8W
Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the President of the Board of Trade in how many cases foreign shipowners, ordering in British shipyards through subsidiary companies, proposed to transfer abroad the investment grant of 25 per cent.:and what sum was involved.

Mr. Darling:

The situation described by the hon. Member is not likely to arise, since the investment grant would no doubt have been used as a contribution towards construction costs payable to British shipbuilders.
